Eliminate voltage regulator bypass switch problems with type B-1 and type B-2

Overview

Type B-1 The Bridges Electric type B-1 regulator bypass switch is a simple and rugged three-bladed disconnect switch. Each blade is independently operated and is readily visible to the operator. The major safety feature of the type B-1 is that the bypass blade can be visually checked to ensure that it is open. This helps eliminate the possibility of the regulator being shortcircuited when it is restored to service. Many available options and accessories make the type B-1 a flexible solution for regulator bypass schemes.

Type B-2 The Bridges Electric type B-2 oil circuit recloser (O.C.R.) (or regulator) bypass switch utilizes the same blade and contact material as the type B-1. Its design provides clearance for an O.C.R. bypass scheme, but can be used as a regulator bypass. Versatility is provided with optional backplate sets for underhung mounting or an angled pole bracket for mounting directly to the pole. Many available options and accessories make the type B-2 a flexible solution for O.C.R. and regulator bypass schemes.
